How will curtailed LNG supplies affect industrial gas demand in Haryana?

Curtailed LNG supplies may reduce industrial gas volumes in Haryana The reduction in LNG shipments stemming from the Middle East conflict has led to curtailed gas supplies for industrial customers. Since GAIL Gas operates city gas distribution projects in Haryana, this supply curtailment may impact the volumes consumed by industrial customers in the region in the near term. However, credit rating agency India Ratings suggests this impact could be partially offset by the stable and higher-margin volumes of CNG.

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • GAIL Gas operates CGD projects in 16 geographical areas across nine states, including Haryana.livemint.com
  • Gas supplies to industrial customers have curtailed due to the Middle East conflict and reduced LNG shipments.livemint.com
  • The impact of curtailed supplies may affect industrial customer volumes in the near term.livemint.com
  • India Ratings expects the impact to be partly mitigated by stable and higher-margin CNG volumes.livemint.com

Why it matters

Industrial gas demand is a key component of regional economic activity in Haryana. Any reduction in the volumes supplied by GAIL Gas due to external supply constraints directly affects the operational stability and revenue potential of the company's projects in the state.

GAIL Gas is part of India’s Asset Monetisation Pipeline 2.0, a wider government plan for divestment. Its operations are highly sensitive to global energy market stability, as evidenced by the company's reliance on LNG imports and the ongoing geopolitical risks originating in the Middle East.

What we don't know yet

  • How severe will the reduction in LNG shipments be?
  • Will the planned expansion of CNG infrastructure be sufficient to mitigate the industrial supply shortfall?

What would change this answer
